streets, pushing back against american culture and civilization. it is troubling to me that over the last 25 years, we have essentially phased out the promotion of assimilation and promoted instead of multiculturalism and diversity as if it were our strength. they re using it now to divide us and that is what barack obama did throughout his presidency. tucker: everything he said is defensible and probably right, the problem with the tweet was it suggested there is a racial component to american identity. do you think there is? there is a racial component and all of our discussions here in america. it must be that because the left is constantly pointing to the differences we have. race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, prosperity versus poverty. we are all god s children. we are all created in his image. in america, it has been the most successful nation in merging these distinctions together on the common foundation of rights that come from god.
